| 877167 | 2010-04-16 08:47:00 | I have recently set a XP desktop system to hibernate after 45 min. It does that ok & 4 times out of 5 it resumes as well. On the other occation, after the resuming windows bit, the screen just stays blank. I then push the reset button & all is good. It also goes through the bios start before it resumes as well. Another system I have here resumes straight away without that. |

| 877169 | 2010-04-16 08:56:00 | Very speedy as usual. As of last week, yes. Just remembered another thing, sometimes it hibernates sooner than the set time. |

| 877170 | 2010-04-16 09:07:00 | What do you mean by this ? It also goes through the bios start before it resumes as well. I would look in event viewer. Go to start / run. Type eventvwr.msc. Look for any errors under application or system |

| 877172 | 2010-04-16 09:30:00 | Re the bios thing. When you push the start button to resume, it goes through the normal bios start then says resuming windows. Which normally it does. Also when going into hibernation it seems to take a long time on the going in to hibernation screen. |

| 877173 | 2010-04-16 09:30:00 | Thats not it. Could be a videocard prob? Or the drivers for it. By start, you mean the on/off button?? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 877174 | 2010-04-16 09:35:00 | Not this one, tryed all that. Isn't that for resuming from standby. |

| 877175 | 2010-04-16 09:48:00 | I'll try it on standby instead & see how that goes. | Driftwood (5551) | ||

Another system I have here resumes straight away without that. Your one is using hibernate, which saves the contents of RAM to hard drive and then powers the computer off. When you turn the PC on it goes through the standard POST (power on self test) but instead of windows booting normally it just loads the RAM image from the hard drive and resumes from where you left off. The other one which doesn't do this will be using just Standby, which allows the computer to stay powered on, and doesn't require the full power off\on that hibernate does (however, if power is lost then data is also lost) There is a 3rd option "Hybrid sleep" which was introduced in Vista which combines both these modes. If you are having issues resuming from Hibernation it could be a driver issue. Update your drivers, check for BIOS updates too, sometimes a buggy BIOS can cause problems with ACPI. Or it could be you have some program running which doesn't like hibernation... |
